Earth Changes
Here are some of the records that have been broken across the United States by the cold weather as well as some of the more interesting statistics recorded due to the extreme temperatures.
Extreme cold yet a record high
There was a 130-degree spread in temperatures across the US yesterday, from 90 degrees in Florida to 40 below zero in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10 km beneath the epicenter early morning on Wednesday 17 February 2021 at 5:36 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage.
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Kastraki (pop. 910) located 7 km from the epicenter, Nafpaktos (pop. 13,400) 12 km away, and Aigio (pop. 20,400) 19 km away.
The same phenomenon occurred last year. You remember?
Comment: As per the text above, it appears that not only is this a relatively unusual phenomenon, but the researchers do appear to link it to the shift occurring on our planet. However, it's clear that this is not due to the global warming, the Antarctic as just one examples is seeing much colder summers, such that it's disrupting wildlife. And elsewhere on the globe, whilst the seasons are increasingly erratic, overall the planet appears to be cooling.

Sunlight illuminates spewing ash from Mount Etna as Europe's most active volcano erupts, as seen from Paterno, Italy, February 16, 2021.
Etna, at 3,350m high, is on the Italian island of Sicily and is one of the world's most active volcanoes.
There were no reports of injuries or damage.
The Department of Civil Protection said nearby centres were not at risk, although Italy's Central Emergency Department said it was watching the towns of Linguaglossa, Fornazzo and Milo.
The airport at Catania had to close due to ash, which had risen more than a kilometre into the air and made it unsafe to fly, the Ansa news agency reported.
